Morocco was Spain’s leading supplier by value of fresh fruit and vegetables in the first seven months of 2026. Spanish imports of Moroccan origin reached €982 million, up 5% year on year, according to Spanish customs figures processed by FEPEX and published on 15 October.

The ranking changes when quantities are considered. France remained first with 681,099 tonnes, up 4%. Morocco followed with 373,958 tonnes, down 8% compared with January-July 2025.

The two Moroccan trends can therefore coexist: more value traded and less volume. The aggregate figures alone do not establish whether the gap reflects a uniform price rise, a particular product or improved exporter profits.

Spain imported a total of 2.87 million tonnes of fresh fruit and vegetables worth €3.471 billion over the period. These are seven-month figures for fresh produce entering the Spanish market. They describe neither all Moroccan agricultural exports nor the full-year 2026 outcome.
